Patent EP-1466265-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BURNS GEOFFREY F
IPC: G06F17/15
Filed: 2002-09-11
Abstract: A component architecture for digital signal processing is presented. A two dimensional reconfigureable array of identical processors, where each processor communicates with its nearest neighbors, provides a simple and power-efficient platform to which convolutions, finite impulse response ("FIR") filters, and adaptive finite impulse response filters can be mapped. An adaptive FIR can be realized by downloading a simple program to each cell. Each program specifies periodic arithmetic processing for local tap updates, coefficient updates, and communication with nearest neighbors. During steady state processing, no high bandwidth communication with memory is required.This component architecture may be interconnected with an external controller, or general purpose digital signal processor, either to provide static configuration or else supplement the steady state processing.

Abstract: First layout information for printing-specific photograph data obtained by
defining a layout of a print is combined with a recipe file, and an image conversion
process is performed on the printing-specific photograph data, based on the combined
recipe file. Second layout information associated with the printing-specific photograph
data subjected to a CMYK conversion is created. Layout data in which the first layout
information is replaced with the second layout information is used as print data. This
provides the print subjected to an image correction process suitable for the photograph
arranged for the layout and an individual image correction process required for each
subject of a photograph, and improves processing efficiency. 
     An output device including a RIP processor further includes an image
conversion processor for creating a recipe file and performing a CMYK conversion
process and a correction process on the printing-specific photograph data represented in
an RGB color system, based on the recipe file. If color reproduction is improper as a
result of proof printing, the image conversion processor of the output device sets a recipe
file for the printing-specific photograph data again, and then performs the image
conversion process again and an output process. This provides suitable print data
without the need to returning to the process in a layout data generation device to modify
the entire layout data.

Abstract: An air conditioner control system using a PSTN (Public
Switched Telephone Network) and a method for operating the
same. The system and method enable a remote control operator
to partially or entirely control a plurality of air
conditioners through the PSTN by connecting receiver modules
to the air conditioners having assigned unique IDs
(Identities) and classifying the air conditioners commonly
using the same telephone line. In an electronic device, a
control program is driven to control and monitor the air
conditioners. A transmitting module connected to the
electronic device in serial converts and codes a control
command signal into a DTMF (Dual Tone Multi-Frequency) signal
and transmits the DTMF signal to a receiving module connected
to a corresponding air conditioner through the PSTN such that
the air conditioner can be remotely controlled. Since the air
conditioners within a large-sized building can be partially or
entirely controlled, convenience and efficiency of remote
control can be improved and time, manpower and cost for
controlling and managing the air conditioners can be saved.

Abstract: The use of Platinum-group-metal free catalytic compositions comprising perovskite
Ag x La 1-x MnO y  with x value of 0.02-0.9 as catalytically active washcoat for
regenerable catalyzed diesel particulate filter applications, facilitating soot
oxidation during the regeneration of Diesel particulate filters (DPF), replacing
platinum-group-metal (PGM) formulations is described. The catalysts have been
studied by a TGA method on soot oxidation activity. They proved particularly
useful as part of an automotive aftertreatment system for elimination and/or
minimizing of exhaust gas emissions, particularly for directly injected fuel engine
vehicles. This was shown by testing full-size coated Diesel particulate filters.
Among the formulations tested, the composition Ag-La-Mn perovskite was very
active at temperatures above 300°C. The regeneration abilities were comparable
or better than Pt formulations with Pt loading of 100g/ft 3  (28.32 g Pt/m 3 ). The
balance point was achieved at 275-300°C with complete soot oxidation at 325°C.
The levels of CO; NO x  and HC emissions during regeneration were also
comparable.

Abstract: When a voice encoding apparatus embeds any data in encoded
voice code, the apparatus determines whether data embedding
condition is satisfied using a first element code from
among element codes constituting the encoded voice code,

satisfied, the apparatus embeds optional data in the
encoded voice code by replacing a second element code with
the optional data. When a voice decoding apparatus
extracts data that has been embedded in encoded voice code,
the apparatus determines whether data embedding condition
is satisfied using a first element code from among element
codes constituting the encoded voice code, and a threshold
value. If the data embedding condition is satisfied, the
apparatus determines that optional data has been embedded

includes a multiplexer to selectively couple one of a plurality of analog input signals to an output
terminal for viewing on an oscilloscope. Preferably, the probe head includes a buffer amplifier to
reduce loading on the circuit under test and to increase bandwidth of the signals conveyed along
the test cable to the instrument. An electrically trimmable resistor is employed to terminate the
transmission line of the test cable in its characteristic impedance in order to reduce reflections and

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a component, in particular an aluminium electrowinning anode, for use at elevated temperature in an oxidising and/or corrosive environment comprises: applying onto a metal-based substrate layers of a particle mixture containing iron oxide particles and particles of a reactant-oxide selected from titanium, yttrium, ytterbium and tantalum oxides; and heat treating the applied layers to consolidate by reactive sintering of the iron oxide particles and the reactant-oxide particles to turn the applied layer into a protective coating made of a substantially continuous reacted oxide matrix of one or more multiple oxides of iron and the metal from the reactant-oxide. The metal-based substrate comprises at its surface during the heat treatment an integral anchorage-oxide of at least one metal of the substrate. The anchorage-oxide anchors the multiple oxide matrix to the substrate by reacting with the iron oxide and/or the reactant-oxide to form an integral multiple bonding oxide of the metal of the integral anchorage-oxide and iron from the iron oxide and/or the metal of the reactant-oxide.

Abstract: A method and systems for dynamically distributing packet flows over multiple network processing means and recombining packet flows after processing while keeping packet order even for traffic wherein an individual flow exceeds the performance capabilities of a single network processing means is disclosed. After incoming packets have been analyzed to identify the flow the packets are parts of, the sequenced load balancer of the invention dynamically distributes packets to the connected independent network processors. A balance history is created per flow and updated each time a packet of the flow is received and/or transmitted. Each balance history memorizes, in time order, the identifier of network processor having handled packets of the flow and the associated number of processed packets. Processed packets are then transmitted back to a high-speed link or memorized to be transmitted back to the high-speed link later, depending upon the current status of the balance history.
